Marathon Info.

10K for Shelterstarts
at10:00 AM. This will be the first of Mid-Atlantic
USATF's 2004 Grand Prix trail race series. A creekside
communion
with nature; 6.2 miles up the creek to the PA border and back. 4
water/aid
points. Registration:$15. 10K award ceremony ~11:05 AM.

The Triple-Crown (A
unique "whole enchilada" 3-race combo for the judgmentally impaired:
half-marathon,
10K and 5K = 22.4 miles of fun all in one morning!) Registration:
$40/individual (run 'em all yourself!);
$45/team (2 or 3 runners, one runner/race), includes
finisher's mug.The Triple Crown is scored by sum of finish places (not
combined
times) among TC runners only--low sum wins (tie-breaker rule:
faster half-marathon finish wins). Please note the time intervals
between starts; if you finish one race after the next race has already
started, no problem--just grab some refreshments and head out
again!
If you miss an earlier award ceremony, we'll announce unclaimed
1/2-marathon
and 10K medals after the 5K. Triple Crown award ceremony at noon.

Note: Starting in 2003 we lowered all our race registration
fees, and
don't include a t-shirt with registration. You probably have
enough
t-shirts already, but runners who pre-register can order cool
runnin' dawg t-shirts for $10 each. Shirt orders should
be submitted with your registration; we will only have a few extra
shirts
to sell on race day.
